Considering a 5 axis table on table machine. The B axis is limited to 120 degrees of range: -100 and +20. How do I control the rotation of the C axis to keep the machine on the -100 degree side of motion.
For example the tool is machining on the side of the part that requires the B axis to be at -35 degrees. It could do the same machining with the B axis at +35 degrees and the C rotated 180. This is not just positioning. I amcontinuous 5 axis surface machining with a ball nose.
Is there some mill sequence parameter or technique to do this or is it a post thing. I played with the REPOS macro with no success. I know this is a complex topic. That is why I am here.
